Welcome to SportsHoopla folks

 

[aarrgghh]

Ha ha. A couple of you asked why I didn't mention Steve Young. Yeah, I know he's in the HOF. I deliberately left him out because I really don't think he deserves to be.

Say what????? Lay off the booze this early my man.

 

[BINGO]

Welcome aboard, what about Steve Young?

Took the words right out of my mouth.

 

[aarrgghh]

LOL. Can't help it. I never was a Young fan. If Seifert had kept Joe we would already have had our 5th and 6th Super Bowls. Of course, that's just my opinion. I could be wrong. Actually I think we might have won in '91 if they'd gotten Bono in there earlier. Young really stunk it up that year.

 

[CalamityX11]

not a Young fan?????

that's it!

 

[aarrgghh]

OK, Serious question:

In what order would you rank these 5 semi-contemporary quarterbacks? (by semi, I mean they were all playing at the same time, even though there was some age disparity)

Troy Aikman
Steve Young
John Elway
Bret Favre
Dan Marino

Me, I put Young a distant 5th.

That is tough but no way I'd put Young at a distant 5th in that list - that would be Aikman. I'd take Warren Moon over Aikman. Favre was overrated but won. I have a bias putting Elway at the top of any list because I never liked the guy. It's really hard to put Marino at #1 without a SB.

I question that decision every day......

Steve Young and the 1994 49ers already won the 5th Super Bowl for the 49ers.

Ha, you don't count Young as a HOF QB and don't count his SB win either?. Man, you're one of those fans who really really hated the switch from Montana to Young huh? I hadn't realized anyone hated the move that much still. I thought most people got over it after the 1994 SB win.

Well, thats cool, I guess. Doesn't make any sense to me, but, good luck with all of that.

tough question and the differences aren't huge between EACH rank. but IMO Young would rank after only Favre.

yeah at the time, nobody liked moving away from Montana. but hard as it was, we had to look ahead. there would be no exact perfect time, but the move to Young was correct.

got over it much sooner than the '94 SB, cause it is team first, player second.

I was already ready to do so, for different reasons.

Hi all,

I'm new to the board, so I thought I'd introduce myself: I'm a long time fan of the 49ers. I never instigate stuff. I hated the Alex Smith era with a passion. even when the team got so good they could win, even with him, I was always waiting for the other shoe to drop.

On the other hand, I'm extremely happy now we have a real quarterback in Kaepernick. IMO, this kid could end up being great, as in almost, possibly, maybe, hopefully, someone who might someday be mentioned in the same breath as Joe. He does have awesome potential. It's amazing isn't it? Most teams never have that one HOF QB and we have a very good candidate for a second one.

Anyway, I'm very excited about the season - and it's almost here. Go 49ers!

So you've never heard of Steve Young?

[SY8goat]

Who the heck is Steve Young?

Hell no. I was too blown away by the stupidity of his post. I went straight to quick reply.

 

[aarrgghh]

Robotic:

You may disagree with me, but I am no idiot and neither was the post. Maybe you ought to read everything, then take a minute to think before making those kinds of statements. That advice was gratis (that means free).
